About this Gig

*Currently booking into October. NOTE: I'm away September. Pre-book if needed. Message for availability*


I'm a professional beta reader specializing in Fantasy, Romantasy, Sci-Fi, and Romance for YA, New Adult, and Adult fiction. I'm an agented, published author represented by Spencerhill Literary and a seasoned story analyst with over a decade of experience in publishing and entertainment.


My beta reads focus on both reader engagement and story craft, helping you understand how your book lands emotionally while identifying areas that may cause confusion, pacing issues, or reader drop-off. 100% human feedback I do NOT use AI.


With my beta read, you'll receive:

  • A detailed reader report covering strengths, weaknesses, and clarity issues
  • Honest but encouraging feedback on characters, plot, pacing, worldbuilding, and emotional impact
  • Authentic reader reactions (where I was hooked, confused, or emotionally invested)
  • Optional in-line comments (package dependent)


Genres I Love:

  • Fantasy (Epic, Urban, Dark, Cozy)
  • Romantasy (slow burn, enemies-to-lovers, spicy)
  • Sci-Fi (Dystopian, grounded)
  • YA & New Adult Fiction

    I had a great experience working with Amy on my epic medieval romantasy. From the outset Amy was positive and cooperative - understanding what I was seeking in a beta reader and giving clear parameters on timing, costs etc. Amy turned the project around quickly, in less than the expected timeframe, which...

    Fantastic experience. If I'm going to be in the market for a beta read in the future, I'll be reaching back out again. The feedback felt encouraging while being honest, and highlighted both the good and the bad while never overselling either.

    I'm a repeat customer. Amy is exceptional to work with. She really goes above and beyond and cares. As a writer herself, she knows exactly what to look for to help improve, voice, setting, world building, tension, pace etc and far exceeds expectations when it comes to beta-reading services. I wouldn't...
